Serial #017 SEX arrived yesterday afternoon. Awaiting the MG944's with the zstx, anyway, hooked up a pair of Klipsch RF-15's from my theater, directly from the iPod headphone output...In the last 24 hours, Ive got 15+ already in, and I can already hear a fullness coming through...as a total newbie to tubes, these things are awesome....stay tuned....

Great you are enjoying your first experience with tube amps Matt. You picked a great one right off the bat. Have #12 here, I listen to in my office while I work and the Tori MKII downstairs in the den. Sure do like these Decware amps. Best sounding I have had and easy to fiddle with. You will be pleased as time goes on with your amp. My Mini is hooked up to a pair of HDT's and the sound amazes all that listen. Pretty cool amp.

hi everybody, mine (#19) just arrive this morning in FRANCE, just out of the box it looks like a toy !! very small and light. a rapid look at the inside .. and i think : this thing can't work !!!

so i plug out my luxuous Set Ayon Sunrise and plug the mini torii on my avant-garde Horn speaker..... turn on , and nothing happened , i put my head in the Horn and nothing again no hum no hiss.. nothing what a "tour de force" from decware this amp is more silent than a solid state. ;)

music can start , the sound is pure , clear and very natural . less spectacular than the Ayon with its AA32 tubes ( 300BXLS sort), smaller image but more precise and less distorded sound.

Well, took delivery of the MG's this afternoon....Bob spent his entire weekend making sure I got my Christmas present.....we originally talked about finishing them in Birdseye Maple, but give the knots in the wood, it makes it really difficult to do without pits etc...anyway, we agreed on Tiger Maple, camera phone pic enclosed from this afternoon...

I live about 15 minutes from Overture Audio in Wilmington, DE who has won Best of Show NYC, LA, Etc.. Etc... pretty much nationwide...Anyway, after letting the Mini warm up, and putting on Weather Report "Birdland" and hearing Jaco at his best.....These things are $7-8k Speakers... Unbelievable sound and fit and finish....for $1,300, you've got to be kidding me...

Ok....Now that I've had some time to listen to this stuff...thinking about going plastic...have accumulated a bunch of old records, looking at Pro=Ject 9.1 with a Blackbird...will of course go with the Decware Phono Pre amp....Thoughts?
